Cabo San Lucas hotels near Plaza Bonita Mall

Pros: Rooms well appointed and spacious, even studio. Beautiful pools. Walking distance to town, but not in town. Staff very courteous, and put up with my marginal Spanish. Fully stocked w/ pots, dishes, nice coffee maker etc. All rooms face pools & ocean (that we saw). Great gym.

Cons: Listed in approx. order of importance: Restaurants serve almost all American cuisine - not what we want in Mexico - need to add some good / local / distinctive Mexican cuisine (not just ceviche)!! Has beach front, but surf is too strong to allow swimming, and not quite wide enough to allow laying out on beach. Lighting in room (kitchen area of studio) could be better. The piped in TV is a Canadian system, which is OK, but when you're paying top $$ for place that caters to Americans, an American TV system would be appreciated. Drink prices are a little high (though you don't go here for bargain prices :-)).

Pros: Never got to stay there

Cons: After paying for the hotel and airfare, and surprising my partner with the vacation, Amoma.com informs me that the hotel will not accept my reservation. I was forced to choose another hotel I was not happy with. That was FALSE ADVERTISEMENT.

Pros: Pools were clean and large. Food was excellent.

Cons: Pullout couch was terrible. Buffet breakfast was good, but too expensive.

Pros: We really liked the variety of pools to choose from and the daily entertainment.

Cons: The Wi-Fi was not good and having to pay for the fitness center.

Pros: We loved the resort and grounds especially at night. It is so beautiful and relaxing. We also liked how the pools were situated and the different options for pools. We loved the wait staff. We really liked the location. It made everything easily accessible, and we were really able to enjoy Cabo. The rooms were spacious and comfortable.

Cons: I didn't like the attitude I received from the woman that was to welcome us to the hotel but was really trying to get us to a timeshare presentation. First of all, we know the game that is played, which is they tell you it is something else, but that is what it ends up being. Why should I be given attitude for my preferences? I chose to spend 9 days there and spend our money there, but it didn't seem appreciated when I checked in..Secondly, we asked about renting a car twice while I was there. First time, the girl seemed disinterested in explaining and gave us a rate sheet to look at. Second time, the Concierge said someone would call us back in few minutes but never did.

Pros: The resort is pristine and really luxurious. The staff was extremely friendly and went out of their way to make sure our stay was enjoyable. They upgraded our room for free!

Pros: The views were nice

Cons: The staff was just okay, the cleanliness was not on point.

Pros: Great service. Great pools/hot tubs. Room was very comfortable.

Cons: The fitness center was only free for room owners & timeshare owners. I didn't want to have to pay to use the fitness center. Also, the wifi would only work on the right side of the room (the side facing the pool/restaurant).

Pros: Nice ocean views, walkable to marina area

Cons: Somewhat slow checkout, strong timeshare push when you first get there, beach does not allow swimming because of strong ocean undertow

Pros: Check-in was quick and painless, and included a free upgrade to a master suite in Building P right by the ocean (thanks!). Pool waiters were prompt and attentive with fantastic drinks and courteous service. My room was clean and quiet (YES!) and the bed was comfortable. I was staying solo but traveling with a large wedding group, and they took exceptional care of us all. WiFi worked. The wedding setup and service was exceptional. Mauricio took care of our group all day at the pool and during the wedding dinner. Great service! This has been my preferred Cabo resort for years, and it lived up to my high expectations yet again. This was trip #13 to Cabo for me, and it's one of my best trips yet.

Cons: I was unable to secure a late checkout, which made my last day less smooth and relaxing than I'd like. Small courtesy suites for early arrivals and late departures would be ideal (other resorts in the area do offer them).

Pros: Good service and beautiful accommodations.

Cons: You cannot swim in the beach and there was only one restaurant open during our stay.

Pros: Environment, friendly (and funny) staff, clean, well-kept and maintained, views etc.

Cons: Nitpicking: - WiFi: not courtesy and inconsistent - Gym: not free for non-all inclusive guests

Cons: Staff at The Ridge had a very bad attitude and we're not very friendly.

Pros: Playa Grande is an amazing hotel with so many luxuries. Great food, staff and atmosphere and we'll definitely be back.

Cons: Gym, mini golf and wifi fees seem unnecessary.

Pros: The views are spectacular. The location is excellent. The size of rooms are extremely comfortable.

Cons: They charge you for absolutly everything. Be prepared to pay six dollars for complimentary Starbucks coffee, use of the qym, and wifi!

Pros: The view and location are amazing

Cons: We had no running water in our room. The pool was filthy and had green film of something covering it. Stay away from this property

Cons: The beach area needed some extra security and reserving cots in the morning was an issue.

Pros: Everything about this property and the team that make each day as relaxed as you desire, is tremendous. Numerous restaurants and a great beach on the property removes any need to ever leave, even though they are perfectly located to even more exceptional dinning like Edith's. Everyone is friendly and courteous... we have come here as a family annually for five years and each year everyone raves how it is always more improved than the year prior.

Pros: Amazing views Many great restaurants within walking distance Large rooms

Cons: Every person in our group had to switch rooms because the initial ones given were terrible They charge you for everything (without much notice). For example, yoga was $17 and not all that great. We paid over $400/night for a basic room so at that rate felt something should have been included.

Pros: Close to beach and within walking distance to downtown Cabo. Staff was very friendly, great rooms. Will be back.

Cons: NO Free WIFI; Many restaurants and facilities near Casa Dorado had free WIFI included with their services.

Pros: Close to the beach, good pools, nice view and balconies.

Cons: Shower water fluctuated hot then cold regularly, got haggled by the hotel right as we were checking in for a time share deal, and you could hear near by conflicting music from nearby bars.

Pros: It's clean, modern, gorgeous, welcoming, and fun. The location is absolutely perfect: far enough away to be peaceful, but close enough to walk to the party downtown or on the beach.

Cons: If I could change one thing, it'd be that the people who sell their timeshares would be less assertive. But really, they take "no" for an answer and don't get in your way.

Pros: The staff was very good. They helped us get a nice room at the front desk. The pool and grounds and restaurant staff was very accommodating and paid great attention to us. Very Impressed. I requested my reservation with Kayak for 2 adults in my room, and some how the final print out with "Solmar All Inclusive "only had listed 1 adult in my room and charged me extra for my guest $60 each day to stay in my room. And the room was not included to be all inclusive, as stated in the name of the resort on the reservation "Solmar All Inclusive" ----This also was the case with guests checking in at the same time, who we did not know, who had used a different reservation process, they were charged additional for the second person and did not know it was not all inclusive.. ----The front desk staff, did try to help us... Obviously not there fault. They explained that if we paid for a more expensive room, we would not get charged for the extra guest, either way we ended up having to spend much more than we agreed when we booked and paid with visa the room on line. Very Disappointing. The entire time we were there we were surrounded by construction both at the entry of the resort and tractors on the beach in front of our view. The work began early in the morning waking us up every morning, jack hammers tearing up concrete and large tractors moving bolders and palm trees all day long. This was not disclosed on the reservation. Very Disappointed. The view was nice, but the rooms were very outdated. We stayed 2 nights at Solmar to visit friends staying there for a special occasion. The staff every where was wonderful but we would not return to this property. They did not disclose that the property was in major construction, the room was dated, and the price charged before arriving was not at all the price I had to pay to stay there..

Pros: The accessibility to the town and ocean The waiters and staff in the resort

Cons: The staff in the front office were incredibly rude to myself and family. They did not have a room for us and instead of being apologetic, described it as “our lucky day.” They tried to send us to their sister hotel, 20 minutes away, away from the beach and town. They were rude, arrogant, unapologetic. We spent the first day arguing to have a room in the hotel we reserved for 3 and 1/2 hours. They eventually gave us someone’s time share with the risk that we may have to leave if they showed up. The rooms were old. My parents sink leaked on their feet every time they used it My husband and mom got food poisoning. Would never return to this hotel.

Cons: They doing costruction and the sime time doing hotel bussiness. LOL!!! A lot of noise! Dust! Not good!

Pros: Nice room for good price from kayak

Cons: Incredibly expensive food at restaurants on site. wanted to charge for everything, including items not provided in room.

Pros: It is a small resort, easy to get around. Quite. No trouble getting reservations for dinner. No problem when you are late for your reservations. How accommodating the staff are.

Cons: There was no seating on the actual beach. Nice pools but currently you only have your towel to sit at the beach.

Pros: Food was pretty decent given the cost for an all inclusive. Location was nice, rooms were ok and facilities like the pools were basic, but acceptable.

Cons: Customer service was awful and they seemed to want to bleed you for things like tips, but the worst is when they charged us $80 per day extra since our reservation was mistakenly made for one instead of two, but their going rate that day for two people was only $30 more per day. They made no effort to try and make this right and even let us check in with our one person reservation before notifying us of the issue so that we couldn't modify our reservation before they stuck us with the fee. I felt it was shisty and they were holding us hostage. Scammers!

Pros: Sunset

Cons: Being nickle and dimed for everything. Eg not informing us it's $30 extra for an additional person also wifi is $16/day. I feel as though if I'm paying $200+ per night it would not only include wifi but assume a minimum of two persons. Front desk staff was extremely slow and seemed disengaged. Overall, not a four star resort like they are listed. Would definitely not recommend anyone spending their hard earned money at this place.

Pros: Beautiful place!

Cons: Didn't like the fact that all elevators were out of service and had to walk up and down from the 4th floor.

Pros: Beautiful smaller resort. Love the beach and pool as well as the swim up bar. Clean rooms with a spectacular view.

Cons: A view updates are needed on the rooms but otherwise wonderful place!

Pros: We had a really great time there. Very family friendly resort, it’s not mordern but very cozy and Mexican.

Cons: The price for the facilities was not reflective of the age of the hotel. The facilities seemed like it was from the 70's but the price was for something in the 2000's. The beach was not open for swimming either. There was not shuttle to downtown CABO. This seemed impractical since it was probably about 1.5 miles to downtown. You were forced to get a cab for $8 or circle around for downtown parking in a rental car. The staff at the front desk seemed to be perturbed that i was checking in.

Pros: Great location, sweet service people (who will soon be out of jobs). I got a great rate but more than $200 you should go elsewhere. Great sushi..be sure to see Armando and make friends with him...you will love this guy.

Cons: There is the heavy hand of an oppressive management everywhere. The service people are great, but there are shaking in their boots, worried that they will violate any of the numerous rules and regulations. I only paid $182 incl tax for 2 people all incl. That is about the MAX you should pay here. Any more and you will be upset. There are panning to tear down this hotel in 2 years 2 further destroy this magnificent setting with yet another behemoth Las Vegas style mega hotel. It will make you cry...it will soon be an unlivable ghetto. Also, you will wake up every morning, including Sunday to the sound of construction and loud voices from 830am through out the day. Pretty depressing overall. Food is passable but not good. Only one restaurant option

Pros: Great location on Medano beach. Beautiful pool area. Massage at spa was excellent.

Cons: 1 month in advance of trip we booked a 1 bedroom suite for 5 nights. Phoned hotel and got confirmation. When we arrived they said they did not have any 1 bedroom suites available. They gave us a standard room for the first 2 nights. Not going back.

Pros: Great location, spacious rooms and excellent service.

Pros: I really liked the pool atmosphere, the fact that the hotel is literally on the beach, and that sole staff went out of their way to make us feel special and comfortable. Martin, Rodrigo, Omar, and a few other gentleman were great as far as service, speed, and friendliness.

Cons: Overall, I thought the food was pretty bad. I'm not a picky water, but I thought the quality was terrible. In general, the staff works really hard, but on several occasions I saw people who were preparing food wipe their sweat off their face and cheeks because it was so hot out. I have to thinkanafent should get them a low-blowing fan so they could practice better, more sanitary procedures when making food. It was pretty gross. Also, the number of restaurants and food options was grossly overstated both when booking and upon check-in. All in all, breakfast and appetizers by the pool were the best as far as quality. I also thought a few staffers were really lazy. At dinner, I asked out waiter if the restaurant seeded guacamole and chips. He said no. But because I had seen so many people order guac and chips throughout the day. I thought it must be a staple, so I asked another waiter who said he'd get it for us, no problem. Pretty frustrating. Room service we also AWFUL. Not only was the food horrible (pizza and Caesar salad), but it literally took more than an hour both nights we ordered. When my girlfriend called to check on the status about 30mins in, the man who answered said the food was on its way. When we called back 20minutes later, the man said they mixed up our order. When we called a third time, he said the waiter was on his way. It's not that an hour is awful if they are busy (which they were not; the hotel was pretty sleepy). It's the fact that when we called they kept telling us something different. I even asked the man to be honest so we knew what to expect instead of switching stories. He didn't get it, nor did he apologize. Our remote also didn't work and when we called at 10:15pm to have it fixed, the desk said someone would be right up. At 1:15am, someone actually knocked on our door to fix it!! Crazy to take three hours and crazy they'd think that was ok. All in all, I actually think this place is ok for 20-somethings who want to take a trip on the cheap and who don't really care about food. But if you're looking for something simple but on the nicer end, don't stay here.

Pros: Beautiful location. Clean. Has easy access to food/drinks. Family friendly. Rooms are spacious, added bonus of kitchenette!

Cons: Check in staff were very SLOW. They told us, and the couple that we were traveling with, that we needed two different rooms during our stay, offering an upgrade for the second night, but that would leave us without a room for several hours (10am check in, 3pm check in), which was a hassle as we had a 3pm wedding to attend. They were able to fix it but I spent >1 hour dealing with staff about the issue.

Pros: The rooms are not exactly 4 star but we weren’t expecting that. They did have what we needed, two beds and a pullout couch. The sound level in the rooms was horrible. You could hear everything in the hallway and next door. Our neighbors were night owls and consequently we didn’t get much sleep. We weren’t in our rooms other than sleeping because we were at the beach. That’s what we went for.

Cons: I believe the resort is short staffed. The service was not very fast. Our meals at night ungodly slow and the pool service was incredibly slow. Not that I was there to eat eat and drink all the time but to wait over 1 hour for something uncalled for. It seemed as though the staff catered to their time share people first.

Pros: Great staff, service oriented and food was great for an all inclusive...liked the multiple dining options.

Pros: All-inclusive, location is great!

Pros: clean, good views

Pros: Good location on a swimmable beach with view of the arch. Close to downtown Cabo

Cons: The service is extremely slow. They have a bunch of customer unfriendly policies and rules. This is not a true all-inclusive resort. There is an option to go "all-inclusive" but you have to sign for the check whenever you consume food or beverage. Not everything is included in the all-inclusive (such as the kids club for example, or wifi in the rooms). There are not a ton of activities for kids compared to other comparable resorts. The rooms are old and tired. Food in the buffet is mediocre (quantity over quality). Overall, the staff didn't make us feel like they were there to please the guests, they are there because it's a job. Will not return.

Pros: location, beach amenities, hotel staff, rooms are nice

Cons: beds were uncomfortable, no free wifi, more choices for restaurants,

Pros: Housekeeping ladies were incredibly friendly.

Cons: Front desk check in host and bartenders were rude.

Pros: We loved the location and the scenery . Many opportunities to participate in activities of all sorts or simply relax. We also enjoyed the opportunity to utilize the sister resort next door. We have to give a shout out to Guadalupe at the grill. He seemed to be one of the few that genuinely cared and exceeded any other at the resort!!! We really missed him on his day off !

Cons: At the moment we checked in we were politely told that our package was not all inclusive. The booking website was misleading and we had to haggle and bargain to upgrade our package to an all inclusive for a mere $870 more (their discounted rate) This hotel took no ownership for the mislead advertisement. I had previously emailed the hotel to double check my reservations and accommodations with no clear response. Tips were pushed on us and sometimes not so politely requested. We spent more on tips than we would have on food. Overall only very few staff members willing to go above and beyond to make an exceptional experience that we had hoped for.

Cons: This was our third time to stay there things have really gone down hill
